I miss you all. I haven't had any time to post lately. I'm surviving on about five hours of sleep a night, and I'm wiped. Just want you to know I'm thinking of you all, and will get back to posting regularly as soon as my life becomes a little less crazy.
Say, 'hi', if you like...

(2,682 posts)it sounds like you are in the tax preparation business.
My daughter is. From late January to mid-March, she works 6 12-hour days a week. Between mid-March and April 15, she usually works 7 12-hour days a week.
Well, whatever it is the keeps you so busy, hope is calms down so you can get some rest! We'll be watching for you to post again.
Aristus
(67,635 posts)But clinic, busy as it keeps me, is not the only reason things are so frenetic right now. I'm doing a play at our local community theater. We just finished 'Hell Week' and opening weekend. I was getting up around quarter to six every morning, working until 5pm or so, then rehearsing or performing in the play until roughly 11pm every night.
Tonight's the first night in weeks I've been able to come home after work and relax.

Aristus
(67,635 posts)It did not last the night
But oh my dears, and oh my friends
It made a lovely light!"
Things are a little better now, femmocrat. A nice night off, a couple of glasses of wine, and some relaxation at last...

(10,888 posts)I was thinking of you the other day. I had an aneurysm coiled a couple of weeks ago. You discussed it with me briefly in one of your threads. All went well.
I hope you are able to get some more rest soon. Are you on call frequently?
Here's hoping your life does become a little less crazy, and I hope all those patients know how much you've helped them along the way.

(67,635 posts)I've begun to feel like such a cipher at DU lately; so I'm a little overwhelmed by the recognition, support and friendship everyone is showing...
That means a lot...
